Flex displays tick marks whenever you set the tickInterval
property to a nonzero value.
For example, if tickInterval is 1 and
maximum is 10, then a tick mark is placed at each
1/10th interval along the slider.
A value of 0 shows no tick marks. If the tickValues property
is set to a non-empty Array, then this property is ignored.
The default value is 0.
Implementation

tickValues:Array| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
The positions of the tick marks on the slider. The positions correspond
to the values on the slider and should be between
the minimum and maximum values.
For example, if the tickValues property
is [0, 2.5, 7.5, 10] and maximum is 10, then a tick mark is placed
in the following positions along the slider: the beginning of the slider,
1/4 of the way in from the left,
3/4 of the way in from the left, and at the end of the slider.
If this property is set to a non-empty Array, then the tickInterval property
is ignored.
The default value is undefined.

Method Detail
getThumbAt | () | method |
public function getThumbAt(index:int):mx.controls.sliderClasses:SliderThumb| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Returns the thumb object at the given index. Use this method to style and customize individual thumbs in a slider control.
Parameters
index:int — The zero-based index number of the thumb.
|
mx.controls.sliderClasses:SliderThumb — A reference to the SliderThumb object.
|
measure | () | method |
override protected function measure():void| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Calculates the amount of space that the component takes up. A horizontal slider control calculates its height by examining the position of its labels, tick marks, and thumbs relative to the track. The height of the control is equivalent to the position of the bottom of the lowest element subtracted from the position of the top of the highest element. The width of a horizontal slider control defaults to 250 pixels. For a vertical slider control, the width and the length measurements are reversed.
setThumbValueAt | () | method |
public function setThumbValueAt(index:int, value:Number):void| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
This method sets the value of a slider thumb, and updates the display.
Parameters
index:int — The zero-based index number of the thumb to set
the value of, where a value of 0 corresponds to the first thumb.
| |
value:Number — The value to set the thumb to
|
updateDisplayList | () | method |
override protected function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number, unscaledHeight:Number):void| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Positions the elements of the control.
The track, thumbs, labels, and tick marks are all positioned
and sized by this method.
The track is sized based on the length of the labels and on the track margin.
If you specify a trackMargin, then the size of the track
is equal to the available width minus the trackMargin times 2.
Tick marks are spaced at even intervals along the track starting from the beginning of the track. An additional tick mark is placed
at the end of the track if one doesn't already exist (if the tick interval isn't a factor of the maximum value). The tick mark
y-position is based on the tickOffset. An offset of 0 places the bottom of the tick at the top of the track. Negative offsets
move the ticks upwards while positive offsets move them downward through the track.
Labels are positioned at even intervals along the track. The labels are always horizontally centered above their
interval position unless the trackMargin setting is too small. If you specify a trackMargin, then the first and last labels will
position themselves at the left and right borders of the control. Labels will not crop or resize themselves if they overlap,
so be sure to allow enough space for them to fit on the track. The y-position is based on the labelOffset property. An offset of 0
places the bottom of the label at the top of the track. Unlike tick marks, the labels can not be positioned to overlap the track.
If the offset is a positive number, then the top of the label will be positioned below the bottom of the track.
The thumbs are positioned to overlap the track. Their x-position is determined by their value. The y-position is
controlled by the thumbOffset property. An offset of 0 places the center of the thumb at the center of the track. A negative
offset moves the thumbs upwards while a positive offset moves the thumbs downwards.
The placement of the tick marks, labels and thumbs are all independent from each other. They will not attempt to reposition themselves if they overlap.
For a vertical slider control, the same rules apply. In the above description, substitute width for height, height for width, left for up or top, right for down or bottom, x-position for y-position, and y-position for x-position.
Parameters
unscaledWidth:Number — Specifies the width of the component, in pixels,
in the component's coordinates, regardless of the value of the
scaleX property of the component.
| |
unscaledHeight:Number — Specifies the height of the component, in pixels,
in the component's coordinates, regardless of the value of the
scaleY property of the component.
